I love giving like-minded, crafty friends handmade gifts...it's one of my favorite things to do because basically I just either shop for or create something I would love, and then give it away. I have mentioned my friend Teva before here, she's the creator of the adorable owls shown below. ...

These past few days have been very sweet as Christmas draws nearer. I have enjoyed wrapping up special gifts, finishing handmade projects, getting packages filled with love mailed off to my family far away, and slowing down to enjoy my little one as she certainly knows how to bring the magic...

I have a special Project Life post to share with you today - so excited to be getting back to blogging the spreads... Here's Week Nine (I'm a bit behind and that's ok) full of Instagram photos and the Becky Higgins Cobalt kit. I used three of the journaling cards this week and mixed it up ...

Beautiful. I am in bed sick with a very wicked virus and I heard your notification go off sometime in my sleepless night. I had to take a quick peek and I was not disappointed. You are amazing. Thank you for sharing.

I feel a new love coming on, which is going to lead to a little bit of junk hunting on my part, or re-purposing/up-cycling. You know what they say, one man's junk... I seem to have a thing for utensils lately. I kind of adore them and all of the unexpected things they can be used for in home...

My favorite designer is Melissa Phillips. I do love some of the others and it looks like the new designer is wonderful. I have purchase several stamps and dies the last year from papertrey and love using all of them. I appreciate the information pictures and personal touches by all the designers. Looking forward to another year to see what's in store for all of us. Thank you and Happy Anniversary.

Today marks the official start to all of the amazing anniversary festivities we have planned here at Papertrey this month! It's hard to believe that four years have passed, but we couldn't have done it without the help of the amazing designers that showcase our products each month. They all pu...

You have to stop with all the new Melissa Frances goodies. I can't take much more. Lol. I cannot wait to be able to purchase these new items. Love them. I hope your little bean is better soon. That is a challenge to not be able to feed her what she likes. I remember when I had my tonsils out back in the dark ages of the early 60's, I did not eat for a week. My younger brother was eating real food that night. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

I truly have never been so tired in all of my life....I do believe there is light at the end of the tonsil tunnel though...I can't wait to feed my little bean chicken nuggets, pizza, shrimp and pasta, and most of all....popcorn. The poor bean has been asking for some every day...that's all s...

I am speechless. I love all of your art but goodness this is unbelievable. I need that baby card for my soon to be second grandchild, we found out Friday it's a boy. I have 3 sons a grandson and now another grandson. My pink self would love a girl somewhere along the way but I will try to be patient. Melissa you have outdone yourself once again. I think this may be my all time favorite collection. Thank you for sharing with us and making us green with envy......lol

It seems that the beautiful Melissa Frances products...which are the reason I started paper-crafting years ago...just keep getting more and more beautiful with each new release....the new 5th Avenue collection and additions to the Attic Treasure and Kitschy Kitchen lines are...oh, so incredibly,...

I love love all of your creations. You have inspired me so much. I love it when I have an email saying you have sent me a message. That means a new post a new project by you. I would love to know how you tie the twill ribbon sovwell into beautiful bows. I can make beautiful bows but for some reason I have trouble with the twill. I look forward to the New Year and more of your beautiful projects. Thank you.

Happy Day 12...thank you...Merry Christmas...and a just because giveaway... This will be my last post for a while....my little one will be out of school for her winter break soon, it's time for baking, snuggling, hot cocoa, cozy fires, family, friends, and focus. Thank you all for tuning int...

Melissa you have outdone yourself. Oh my goodness I absolutely love this little Santa book. Wow I am so impressed. Just love it. I want one. I will try to make but something tells me I will not be able to replicate this work of art. Thank YOU for sharing. Kolleen

The sun has been kissing us lately as we've been swimming and soaking in the warmth of summer...my little girl is keeping me busier than I ever dreamed, but I am so thankful I get to share my days with her. Nighttime brings its own special sweetness as we have been reading a bedtime fairyta...
